The difference being that with plants, you really don't have much of a choice. You have to eat something. Stalking deer, on the other hand, is definitely option

- resolaibohp 9y agoYeah I am with you here. Except that I cannot stand the thought of killing plants. Unfortunately I have to eat something so I do not have much of a choice but to kill an animal to do so.
- jdavis703 9y agoI try to not waste plant life. It's why I won't buy a live Christmas tree. Someone was just telling me how they kill their succulents and just buy new ones. That was about as offensive to me as if someone joked about how they kill their pet dogs all the time but buy new ones.
- Mz 9y agoThat runs both ways. Some people live on a meat-centered diet and hardly eat plants. Plants give off a pulse when harmed and communicate with each other chemically to inform other plants in the area of insect infestations so they can try to chemically protect themselves. Just because your senses fail to detect the ways in which they express their suffering doesn't mean they are any less able to feel and express themselves than the creatures whose self expression is more readily understood by humans.
